Some of the trees are taken from the works of Arthur Edward
Hardwicke Elkington and his cousin, Christine Elkington,
who worked tirelessly to record all the Elkington families
known to them at the time of their work. Their notes have
been used to form the records contained in these trees and
backed up with Family Documents, Wills, Family Bibles, Church
Records and Bishops Transcripts

Mini Histories, which provide a colourful background to
the story of this family, have been carefully researched
and documented by their families and local records. Most
of the official documents start with the beginning of the
Church Records in the C16 but various other documents have
survived and whilst we cannot prove a direct line, it shows
that the family has been in England since before the Norman
Invasion. Every history has the tree of the person concerned
at the end of it showing the source for that particular
member and county he or she comes from originally

There are many Wills which have proved a useful source for
identifying various members of the different families. In
some cases it has proved totally not possible to read off
words and a gap has been indicated by a blank but the overall
result gives a more or less full picture of the Testators
instructions

Trees covering families not in the United Kingdom are as
correct as possible, but it has not been possible to be
absolutely accurate with families outside the United Kingdom
